You're parked in the driveway, you're ready to go
one last look around and then slowly you roll
the wide open road awaits and you must go
You're stopped at some hotel, you're on your way
you hang up the phone 'cos there's nothing to say
and outside your window, the day dies away
Hold your breath, this is it...
You've got one foot in the future now and one foot in the past
half of you are dancing and half of you feel trapped,
it's such a fucking mess where you come from, you don't care where you go,
it can't get any worse
Remember the time when you thought you could win?
Remember your anger let go of you then?
How good it felt, if only for a moment
you soon realize though, that nothing has changed
people like you are just pawns in the game
that's how it is and that's how it remains
Count your days, you'll be OK.
You've got one foot in the future now...

This Intoxication.

Mother, I'm burning up inside,
it's not slowing down, it won't subside
I feel like I'm hanging by a thread,
mother, I feel like a walking dead
And I don't want this intoxication to end,
I want to feel it, I want to taste it all again,
So much life, come and gone...
Mother, I'm burning up inside
and mother, it's eating up my mind
am I too cruel, am I too kind?
Am I just stupid, am I blind?
And I don't want this intoxication to end...
Somehow the end feels like the beginning
Mother, I'm burning up inside
and mother, I've been burning all my life
Something I can't live without;
some sort of underlying constant doubt about the world and the things we think we know
and I don't know what other route to go
and I don't want this intoxication to end
I want to feel it, I want to taste it all again,
somehow the end feels like the beginning

Ed is standing in the parking lot,
he says: "I don't have long, I can feel the dark..."
He went with his brother to Vietnam
"Of all the kids I knew, I'm the only one left..."
he says that's gonna change real soon,
he says "Give me a couple of full moon's..."
I see him once and I see him twice,
he says "Dave, my man, I'm a fading light..."
and one day he's just bone and skin
and that's the last time Ed came in.
One day his brother's on the phone,
telling me that Ed has moved on...
Your father, in a distant youth,
looks just like you, man, just like you
he probably also got drunk and high
and laid out, looking at the sky
Sometimes when I watch the stars, I cry
it just comes over me, I don't know why...
It's just the feeling that your life runs by...

I'm having some problems deciding what's real
and what's inside of me
cos I'm seeing patterns that feel unreal every night when I try to sleep
I'm so tire of the struggle,
I no longer feel my heart
it has taken one too many
it has crossed into the dark
So sing with me if you know the words,
those perfect, right on target words
that so adequately describes where it hurts
and try to untangle that.
And I promised you a story,
here's a good one, good indeed;
there is no such thing as sympathy, they work you 'til you bleed
When I was a boy once, my father told me that space is endless
and I said: "what if there was a wall?"
He said: "more space on the other side of it."
and I couldn't grasp the size,
I laid hypnotized that night
I was drawn into the light
